Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Man United

Jose Mourinho returns to the Premier League with a sun soaked Vitality Stadium providing the backdrop.

AFC Bournemouth host Mourinho and his Manchester United charges in today’s early kick-off, with Eddie Howe’s men attempting to follow Hull City’s lead and rip up the script.

Certainly today’s meeting will provide a stern test of Mourinho’s work over the summer – a tight pitch, a tight ground and a home side bristling with pace via Josh King, Callum Wilson and new signing Jordan Ibe.

But United have Zlatan Ibrahimovic; the Swede heads into the match having been handed the armband by 21% of Fantasy Premier League managers. It remains to be seen if he can keep pace with Sergio Aguero who was backed by 34% and rewarded them with a 9-point return in the day one win over Sunderland.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        I had 2.5m but then bailed on Mkhi after it seemed he wouldn't start so got Oscar. I also changed Friend to Amat. Plan was either get Mkhi as fifth mid and go 3-5-2 or Ibra in 3-4-3. Wanted to run with Kun Long & Gray to start. Glad I left myself the option now!

      Alli + Vardy instead of Lamela + Zlatan turned out to be a really bad decision. Will do those transfers for a hit if nothing else happens....
